London, Ont., Dec. 9._â€"'l‘wenty-(our MARRIAGES. 28â€" @ muer| *~~ a2 € to .“h‘ub:mm:c. ers to come to a and in so doing try to increase Watâ€" erice County‘s output of sugar. 1 Now that the warâ€"is over and norâ€" mal conditions about to returs, we cap not .evade the fact that we must again fage; World competition in the various branckes of _ industry. In no industry is this truer than in that of the suges producers of Onâ€" tario, and unless grower and. manuâ€" facturer can £0â€"operate in a greater degree than .ever before, we cannot -mbhollo-u:&nhuu keen competition whi h ensue in . the first years after the war, Germany has in the past been gne of the greatâ€" cent. than for each per cent. under 12 per cent. This is done, in face of the fact that sugar over 12 per cent. is worth more to them | than that under 12 per cent. owing to the fact that it costs less to produce sugar from high testing beets than from low testing ones. With our beets again testing 18 per cent. this would give us nearly $2.40 per ton more than we are getting . now. This would, if we figure again at 10 ton rer acre, give us an increase of nearly $24.00 per acre. If the company would pay this difference, I am sure, the acreage sown to sugar beets would be greatly increased, and the factory could be kept going enough longer to give the company greater earnings than they have at valuable paper to do what little I can to help Waterioo county beet company assumed when they wrote the 1918 contractsâ€"paying over 45% per cent. of the sugar value when beets test under 12 per cent. or at the flat rate. If they paid this price at 18 per cent. sugar . content . we would get $13.13 per ton as against $10.75 at present, or we would be paid $2.38 per ton more for our beets, which with a ten ton crop per mcre would make a difference to the farmer of $23.80. Or, let us get at it from another angle. The company is <~at present paying $8.75 for 12 per cent. sugar or nearly 73¢ for each per cent of sugar under 12 per cent. while for sugar over 12 per cont. they pay only 33 1â€"3 cents, or nearly 40 cents less for each per cent. sugar over 12 per It is not in the interest of the farmer to see the company ruined by a drop in the price of sugar, while a high priced contract is in force. Then again, at present‘ the . com:â€" pany is taking all the risk and conseâ€" quently all the gain incldent to the fluctuation in the price of sugar. So why not persuade the company to contract with us at 50 per cent. of the sugar value. At present they are paying 45% per cent. on low testing beets so they would pay only 4% per cent. extra to lose most of _ the risk they are now taking owing to the changes in price. This would give the farmer $18.00 per ton for an 18 per cent. beet with sugar at $10.00 per cwt. or $9.00 per ton with sugar at $5.00 per cwt. while the company would have a gregt deal of their risk removed in signifg their conâ€" tracts a year ahead the fammer would be just as well oR in case the price dropped while a contract of this kind was in force for the very good reaâ€" son that when sugar prices dropped the prices of other foodstuffs would be likely to drop in proportion. est sugar producing countries in the world, and it is ouly reasonable to expect that.they will leave no stone unturned to win back that which was lost to them during the war. ‘"But," you say, "how can we proâ€" duce more sugar in Waterloo County by simply getting into cioser touch with each other and trying to underâ€" stand each others difficulties betâ€" ter?" Our difficulty lies, 1 believe, in the manufacturer and the farmer each not trying to get the other‘s viewpoint. It is not in the interest price for the beets he _ raises than the manufacturer can afford to pay as that would be killing the goose that lays e golden egg, or, in other words, the factory would have . to close down if they cannot make an adequate profit. Qn the other hand the farmer will not grow so many beets if he does not make a reasonâ€" able profii and the factory can thus not run us long as they _ otherwise would be able to, and so _ will not make as great a profit as they would if they paid more for the beets and could handle more. I believe, that this is the reason that the Kitchener factory is the baby of the three Onâ€" tarlo factories. The company has evidently not undérstood our condiâ€" tions as gompared with the country at Chathant and _ Wallaceburg. In both these places the farmers can raise much larger crops than we can in Waterloo County. Their beets, however, test much lower than ours do, as is shown in the fact that most of their beets are contracted for and sold under the _ flat rate system. ‘This would go to show that their beets do not average over 13 per cent. sugar, as a test of 13 per cent. would under the ‘per cent. system give them $9.08 per ton whereas under the flat rate they get only $9.00 per ton. The company is therefore,â€"if we assume that the price of sugar is Now then, these things being as I have shown them to be, will it not be in the interests of both grower, and manufacturer of sugar to coâ€"operate as much as possible. We will thus increase our output of sugar for Watâ€" erldo County to the full urcny of the factory at Kitchemer and in so doing take the wind out of the sails of our German compéetitors | before they can get a footing on the sugar trade of Canada aftér peéace terms have become effective and trade relaâ€" tiofs are again normal.
